My Lil' Valentines...

My little sis is in town visiting, and we had a little photo shoot today with all the little girls...

And there were lots of cute pics of my sweet little nieces I still need to finish editing...

And since I ususally get a ton of emails asking...here is the info...

-Lily & Kate's shirt/pant set- Wal-Mart...yes...you read correct...$8 @ Wally World. I made their hair flowers. Baby Legs leg warmers from All Things Ribbon. Lily is wearing a pink sheer dance skirt under her dress...her idea, not mine. She doesn't like to do things my way...

-Addi & McKarlee's skirts are from Old Navy...tees & leggings Wal-Mart. Bows from All Things Ribbon.

-Photo Effects were done in Adobe Lightroom. I used the Antique 02 preset (can't remember where I found it, but it was free online) with some major fine tuning of colors and the last photo of my nieces uses the Antique preset with increased color saturation (again, free online).

A friend of mine mentioned 2012 last night to me and it's the first I heard about it so I jumped on here out of curiosity. I think it's kind of sick and sounds like a bunch of skeptical jargon.
I choose to live every day like it is the last because let's be real, WHO THE HELL KNOWS what is going to happen or when it's your time to go on. The past is history, the future is a mystery and now is a gift, thats why it's called the present. It's not healthy to sit around and trip out about when you will die. Stop wasting your time you have now.

- some truth about 2012

Wow! Beautiful as always!! Thanks for adding the info at the end about where when how! Made it that much better of a read. I love to see how your photography has improved over the years!! You have a great eye for it! I so need to put in effort and learn more about Adobe photoshop and lightroom. It is just hard to find the time with 7 kids!

Sherelle I just love your photo sessions! You should seriously be a stylist for kids and you should always tell us where you get the great outfits you put them in. I actually wonder how you get their ponytails and hairdos so perfect?
I come to your blog for smile and today I definitely got one. Tell those girls how everyone thinks they look beautiful. :)

Adorable- I love the one where your littlest is looking at her sister, it looks like she is trying to figure out how to eat that thing. Then all the ones on their bellies were great- love the crossed eyed sucker stare. It's so fun to look at your pictures, and I am in love with your hair bows--- I already said that last time I posted a comment on your blog, but they are probably the cutest things I've ever seen for hair.

I am screaming CUTE!!!!! Love the hair bows. If you are in the market to sell them please shoot me info at hicks_family@sbcglobal.net
I soooo enjoy following your blog. Thanks for sharing your beautiful children & amazing talents with the rest of us.
Blessings!
